Problems starting in hot weather
Hello,
i have '95 F150 XLT w/ 60,000. miles. i have been having intermittent starting problems when the vehicle sits in the sun on a warm day. pretty strange, i know. i have replaced the spark plugs, wires, distributer,rotar, fuel filter, and tried other things. i know the problem is probably electrical, b/c you can hear the fuel pump running and the battery itself is good. any comments on specific relays or other things to check would be greatly appreciated. thanks guys.

Wiring Harness
I read a post about the wiring harness on the passenger side near the a/c cut off causing a short that was giving trucks problems. I think it was around the 97 year model but not sure what all models were affected. Something about a short in the wiring here. Post advised that you put something in between the a/c cut off and the wiring harness so that the harness does not touch it. It is the black cylinder on the passenger firewall area. Give it a try maybe it will help.
